► 30 June 2014 : Boredom comes far too easily today -- but so does action! If you can keep busy, you are sure to be all smiles, but if you slow down, time may feel as if it's standing still. Keep moving! The stars are turning up the volume on all our emotions, and in your case, they are also going to turn you into a magnet for the attentions of admirers, new and old. If there's someone you've been trying to get together with, it's a given that you'll be able to make that connection now. So all you really have to do is show up, smile and see what happens. Sounds nice, huh? Enjoy.

► 1 July 2014 : A child is the key to your happiness today. If you're a parent, that's a no-brainer, but if not, you may find yourself drawn to a friend's family, or you may just end up helping a lost kid at the park. Ready to show the world what you're made of? Bet you are, and they're ready to see it all. Expect one of your new admirers to possibly even bridge the gap between friend and lover -- or to at least give it a shot. If you're interested, this could be the beginning of a bee-yootiful friendship. If you're not, try to let them down easy. Spare their feelings and don't mention that you've got so many admirers to choose from that you can afford to be picky. (Even though it's true.)

► 2 July 2014 : Details start to get pretty irritating today -- so make sure that you're ready to deal with them face to face. If you don't, they are sure to pile up and cause real trouble down the line. Finishing up all your errands isn't that important today -- starting new projects is. So put off picking up your dry cleaning, getting more kitty litter or stopping to get your oil changes. These things can wait. But when an opportunity or invitation lands right in your lap, you have to take it! Don't let the day-to-day routine make you forget that life is an adventure. Go down an unexplored path today.

► 3 July 2014 : A minor health problem may fan the flames of hypochondria today -- but you may as well get it checked out, just in case. While you're at it, you may as well adjust your life to be more healthful. Why limit yourself? Today offers wonderful experiences for every one of your senses -- including your sixth. Take full advantage of every opportunity and keep your eyes and ears wide open. Not only will you be handsomely rewarded, but you will discover a few new playful obsessions. The best way to find new stimulation is by experimenting, so step outside your comfort zone and investigate some intriguing new flavors, sights and sounds!

► 4 July 2014 : Now is the best time to get started on a new project -- it could be anything. Your energy is definitely focused outward, and if you direct it somewhere new, you are sure to find that things improve. When it comes to making up your mind about something, you usually go with your gut, and it never takes you long to hear the sound of its voice. At the moment, however, you've spent a good amount of time mulling something over -- trying to decide whether to zig or to zag. Well, maybe it's about time to call in a little backup. Sit down and talk this over with the one person you trust most in the world.

► 5 July 2014 : Now is a good time to check in with that one troubled friend or relative -- you can really help them, maybe just by showing concern. Every scrap of karma you earn will come in handy soon. You have been putting aside your own interests and needs for so long that you might be losing sight of what they actually are! Today is a good day to put yourself first once again, and do whatever you want to do -- when you want to do it. No one will get upset if you reschedule a meeting or postpone a date. In fact, you might be doing them a favor. You cannot decide on your next move by checking in with other people, anyway. Check in with yourself and with your heart.

► 6 July 2014 : Just pay careful attention to what people are saying and you can't go wrong. Misunderstandings are the likeliest cause of problems and stress right now, but you can rise above it all. It's a great time to initiate a new project -- as long as you choose the right partner for it. Pay close attention to the chemistry between the two of you. Can you keep your mind focused on the task at hand when they're around? Make sure the two of you make a good combination. Their strengths should correspond to your weaknesses, and vice versa. Move forward with making exciting things happen. Make sure you have a specific agenda in mind.

► 7 July 2014 : You're not feeling as comfortable as you would like with this new social situation -- but the good news is that you can get along fine with whomever it is that's causing you such stress. Just smile and nod. Your already blunt, impetuous nature will take over now, but you won't hear any complaints from loved ones -- that's for darned sure. You have a knack for saying whatever you absolutely must in such entertaining fashion that no one minds. Not a tad. And now you'll have the element of surprise to help you be even more interesting. As if you ever needed help in that department.

► 8 July 2014 : A renewal of sorts is underway, and it's making you both a little excited and a little apprehensive. It should be totally positive in the long run, but it might sting a bit for now. Chatting merrily away with everyone from folks in line at the grocery to strangers on the bus? Dashing around with new friends, having fun? et you are. The good news is that your audience is enjoying this as much as you are. Get yourself out there, though, and don't forget about the company of dear ones you haven't seen in far too long. With the heavens as full as they are of spontaneous, impetuous energies, it won't be long before they contact you. Promise.

► 9 July 2014 : You're at the cutting edge of something big and new -- so act like it! Your great energy is perfect for leading the way toward something fresh and exciting and cool. Show the world what it's missing! New sights and sounds will give you a rush today -- and the best part is, you won't have to step too far from your own home in order to experience something special! Your roommates or family members have something to show you and it's going to spark a conversation that lasts for hours. It's like you're finally seeing the wonders that are right in your own backyard. Gaining a new appreciation for the beauty in the everyday in your world is a rewarding goal.

Mmm, .... Thus, the U.S. and the EU must fight against Saudi Arabia and Israel? U.S. and EU, ehheee ... their intimidation against countries that are determined to be independent is not a secret for anyone in the world. America is the mastermind of terrorism, not only in the Middle East but also the world. Double standard attitude of the United States and other Western countries related to global issues already known by many people. They do not care about human rights violations, and killing people everywhere for their interests. When introducing Iran as a terrorist state for the world, the U.S. is actually being launched hyper propaganda to cover its crime all over the world. Pentagon organizing the cyberwar academic programs for military forces, but in fact it is part of the training of terrorism against other countries.

Ouch .. do you think they are scented? I do not think so. They smelled musty while dancing. Just baby perfume which is quite refreshing to sniff.

Dahling, I feel like throwing up with your perfume, even though you say it is an exclusive product for a manly man. I also begin to be plagued by a classic syndrome: a passion to hate you for no reason. Do not sleep on my side, do not eat at the same table with me, please do not use my dinner plate, do not call me every day and do not call me honey. If you do what I say, I will leave you forever, understand? And also this beloved city, I leave it. I do not care if I have to go, even though my heart shattered when stepping alone with my baby, you know? You may call me a selfish mother, who cares about the terms in the language, hm? I'd already told you, be careful with me until I find the cause of this syndrome: hate you for no reason, and do not love you at all. But I really love my baby.

I saw you in my dream last night. And when the woman claimed she was your wife, I could not hold my sorrow, to then found my tears on my cheeks when I was awake.

The sound of crying was like a needle time, sharp slicing silently. Then suddenly I felt very old and better we're both dead so there's no time difference as a marker of age. You can fall in love with my baby like I'm in love with you.

So, now, when I dream of seeing you have been married to her, and I am very sad, does this mean you have been married for real? And I'm very sad for real, too? The sadness in my dream, --- Just as when I asked about my happiness,
in one of my dreams --- does it have a meaning? Ehhehehe ..... ...

By the way, how to say I love you in your language, hm? A love to be heard, to be read and to be understood. I do not say Je t'aime to you.

"Thank you for your perception! I like your romantic side, even if I do not always comment and I'm glad that you're in my circle of friends."(Courtesies by: Wolfgang A. Gerhardt)

Cisca Zarmansyah : Before today, there never was a person doing this to me. You create a simple matter to look special. This is a special thing for me.

Cisca Zarmansyah : Thank you. I love it. I love you, my friend. ♥

"I am me.
In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it --
I own everything about me:
my body,
my feelings,
my mouth,
my voice,
all my actions,
whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies,
my dreams,
my hopes,
my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me,
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing,
I can love me
and be friendly with all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know
-- but as long as I am friendly
and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully
look for solutions
to the puzzles and ways
to find out more about me.
However I look and sound,
whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time
is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked,
sounded,
thought,
and felt
turn out to be unfitting,
I can discard that which is unfitting,
keep the rest,
and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see,
hear,
feel,
think,
say, and do.
I have the tools to survive,
to be close to others,
to be productive,
and to make sense
and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me,
and therefore,
I can engineer me.
I am me,
and I am okay."

About Me

"When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent. I was not a communist. When they locked up the social democrats, I remained silent. I was not a social democrat. When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out. I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews, I remained silent. I wasn't a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out." - Martin Niemöller
